What criteria should I use to pick a long term care home?

Here is a list of questions that you should consider when choosing a long term care home:

What is the quality of the staff? - including skills, low turnover, and great management

Is it a Medicare/Medicaid Certified Provider? Is it a safe and clean environment?

Does it have a clean violation history?

What is the cost? - Create a clear and concise list of questions to determine what is covered and what is extra and compare expenses.

Is the room comfortable and attractive? –How big is it? What does the view look like? Is there storage space? Does it come furnished? Is it a shared space? Does it feel cold and industrial or intimate and homey?

What activities are available?

What’s on the menu? Does it look and smell good?

What professional services are available? – From social workers to number of LVN’s per shift, are your loved one’s needs adequately going to be addressed by the staff?
